strange 
so if the identity works on the right and the inverse works on the right
you get them both on the left too
but if identity works on the left 
the same proof doesnt work anymore
here both were specified on the left 
so it does work 
This is one of the times I'm starting to question all reality 
theres probably an intuitive reason for this 
i dont see a way for left inverse right identity to work the same way
maybe they just need to be on the same side 
All I'm going to conclude is that I'd rather state them with both sides when I make my group definitions 
nah
you state them one sided
and then make your students prove both sided
as an assignment question
"trivial and left as an exercise to the reader"
we're the readers 
There always has to be those occasions ⚰️
I wonder whether anyone's asked this question before? I'm terrible with knowing how to word what I'm looking for to make it a useful search query tho

This question is honestly going to traumatise me 
dw
you'll forget it in like a month and then struggle with it all over again the next time you see it 
I need some help with a question uhhh I feel stupid

Are you meant to find the values of x such that C, D, and E can be the vertices of a triangle?
I'm guessing that's probably what the question is

how does this make sense
h supposed to go to the top
and multiply 2
why is it the h multiplying the denom
they pulled out 1/h
that leaves you with (f(x+h) - f(x))
denominator of the original function was x+1
so f(x+h) of that denom is x+h+1, and this is below a two also due to original equation
minus the original function, since it's just minus f(x)
the third step of what you posted is wrong
cause algebra

Hello! I'm not entirely sure how to go about solving a problem like this:
I only have the inequalities because they were multiple choice 💀
just write them out as equations
at least I hope that's what it means
I don't recall seeing this notation before
it doesn't look like any kind of composing, so you should be good with that I posted
if someone tells me multiplying f and g like this is composing I will explode
so does it just become 3x^4 sqrootx^5
i mean they have fg and f/g in the same screenshot
it should just be f(x) * g(x) and f(x)/g(x)..
👀
i think i have to format my answer something like this (this is the previous question)

how do i know if y=3x-7 is differentiable at x=2
I think if function has value at x=2 then you can d/dx it there
if its derivative at x = 2 is a real number. in this case y' = 3
so y is differentiable for all real numbers
isn't this wrong
but why is it 3 at x=2
isn't all of this wrong....
wdym. if x is in domain of F, then you can get F'
how?
consider y=|x| at x=0
i think the formal definition of differentiability is like the left limit and the right limit have to exist and be equal
you just substitute x = 2 if im not wrong. however in this case the function's derivative is a constant. but if you take y = x^2. dy/dx = 2x. and at x=2 it will be 4.
Limit definition of a derivative?
im probably wrong
huh??
yea thats what i thought
yes but in this case what we said works right
fck
LOL
no because OP is talking about differentiability not the value of f'(2)
yeah I think it needs to have a limit at that point
to show differentiability show that the limit of the derivative at that point exists
Then the derivative exists
f'(0) = infinity where f = sign(x) 
wtf is sign(x)
-1 for negative x, 0 for 0, 1 for positive x
ok so how do i do it...
i do not get it
yes
ok so how would i do that
Have you learned power rule?
yea
Then with that
so y ' = 3
indeed
it was

my question was precisely "is the function y=3x-7 differentiable at x=2?"
It's fine to ask a question different then the hw one if you're curious about the answer
oh ok well let f(x)=3x-7
yes
You can think of power rule and any other derivative rule as saying the function is differentiable
at the point
It's not generally going to give you a derivative when it's not differentiable
The rules are pretty good about that
ok but what do we do w the x=2
$\lim_{x\to 2} \frac{f(x)-f(2)}{x-2}$
ed
if this limit exists then the function is differentiable at x=2
As a note we've switched derivative definitions evidently
This is now a different one that will still give the right answer
so we find left and right limits of the function?
ignore what i said earlier
I think you can just find the overall limit straight away
abt if the limit exists?
$\lim_{x\to 2} \frac{3x-7-(6-7)}{x-2}$
ed
no the left and right limit stuff
$\lim_{x\to 2} \frac{3(x-2)}{x-2}$
ed
$\lim_{x\to 2} 3$
ed
$=3$
ed
the limit is equal to 3 and so f(x) is differentiable at x=2
wdym by that
ye
"f(x) is differentiable" is a very different statement from "f(x) is differentiable at x=a"
More specifically, if there's a derivative at a point then f(x) is differentiable at that point
oops meant to add f(x) is differentiable at x=2
If there's a derivative at every point, then f (x) is differentiable
ok
so i dont have to plug in 2 or anything?
ye
Know how to do it with the limit definition
Once you do, save time using the power rule
remember power rule, chain rule all these calculus rules are derived from limit definition
you won't have to know it dw
wdym
its easy
ok so
to recap
to find if the function y=3x-7 is diferentiable at x=2 i have to find the derivative of y=3x-7 and if there is a derivative then y=3x-7 is differentiable at x=2?
hi
Yes
got it
thx
wait
for y=√x+1 its not differentiable at x=2 right
cuz the derivative is 1/2(x+1)^-1/2
@wind bloom Has your question been resolved?
$$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+1}}$$
VulcanOne
No it is differentiable
Easily differentiable at x=2
At x = -1 though, it isn't
Because then the denominator will be 0

How can i convert numbers to fractions and vice versa
what do you mean by "number" as distinct from "fraction"?
I don’t understand what you mean. By numbers i mean “1” or “7”. By fractions i mean 3/5 or 6 2/5
any number x can be written as x/1
for example $1 = \frac{1}{1}$, $7 = \frac{7}{1}$
then if you want fractions with a specific denominator you multiply both top and bottom by the same number

solve for x = 1+2+3+4.... infinity and proof
hm this series diverges
1+2+3+4+...+n = n(n+1)/2

as n goes to infinity so does the sum
oh so -1/12 is not the answer?

Nope
ok thanks
It's infinite or divergent
Because a sum going to infinity can't logically become a finite value

What is zbar?
help on number e please
See that after expanding the first bracket you can form a exact

Hi ,
I know that ✓x = x^(1/2)
Question: How can I determine the domain through the second expression of the function, why do we reject the negative domain?
What real number you multiply with itself to get a negative?
square roots of negative numbers aren't defined for real numbers
mean how
its sorta the same concept of x12=√x
Yea like , but here is (-2)^(1/2)
Here it always positive
Why is there negative
what negative where?
wheres the negative
Here were i make it x^1/3 there is negative and positive domain
Domain
its in quadrants 2
Like ✓x , ✓(-2) is undefined
So how it like in the example of x^(1/2)
because there is a number you can multiply by itself 3 times to get a negative number
-1^3 = -1
(-2)^(1/2) is also undefined in the reals
Why?
but if u have squares only you can't get negatives with only reals
same principle?
no real number multiplied by itself once equals -2
Yea and x²!=-1
yes
So is the same thing with ^(1/2) ?
not quite
Why
how do you mean "the same thing"
I mean, does the same rule of squaring and cubing apply to the inverted?
what "same rule"
If it helps you can think of the negative sign as (-1)
X² It is always not equal to a negative number
X³ It can be equal to a negative number
(-1)^1/2 Undefined
Okay I am confused by what's confusing you
What's the problem that you aren't really getting?
lol
Why was it created on a positive domain only
what y coordinate would u plot if u had to mark a point where x = -1
I guess the question is why (-1)^1/2 is Undefined
sqrt(x) = y means x = y^2
There is no , Because he is undefined
sqrt(-1) = y means -1 = y^2
(-1)^1/2 is mathematical notation for "what positive number can u multiply by itself to get -1"
when u have no answer to give we say it is "undefined"
So there is no answer for it
there just is no positive real number u can multiply by itself to get -1
try multiplying any real number with itself, see if u get a negative number
That's why you only accept positive values, right?
yes
this question only makes sense when the number inside the brackets is positive
like thats only when u can find an answer
u will learnabout complex numbers, but thats something else
Oh ok
So last thing
x² = x*x
x^(1/2) =?
well only when the power is an integer u can write x * x* ...
would u agree that $\sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{2} = 2$?
SilverSoldier
Yea
but $2=2^1$
SilverSoldier
It (✓2)² = 2¹ = 2
say u wanted to write $\sqrt{2}$ as a power of 2
SilverSoldier
so u want to find a number $n$ such that $\sqrt{2} = 2^n$
SilverSoldier
Oh I understand
so if i replace the $\sqrt{2}$ u wrote here with $2^n$
SilverSoldier
$\left(\sqrt{2}\right)^n = 2^1$
$\left(2^n\right)^2=2^1$
SilverSoldier
$2^{2n}=2^1$
SilverSoldier
but this means $2n=1$, so $n=\frac{1}{2}$
SilverSoldier

I have to proof this by induction.
Yeah that’s what I thought it was!
Cool, as usual, steps you tried/got up to?
Hmmmmm why?
Well my very first step was to show that its true for n = 0
We have that $a_{0}= 1$ and $a_{n} := n^{2}+3a_{n-1}$ for all $n\ \in\mathbb{N}$ yea?
chartbit
yes
You managed to show that, right?
yep
So, ideally, we want to assume that formula
$$
a_{n} = \frac{1}{2}(-n(n+3)+5*3^{n} -3)
$$
holds when $n$ is replaced with $(n-1)$, right?
chartbit
I thought when its replaced with n + 1
If it makes it easier for you to do this, let's replace this to state instead $a_{n+1} := (n + 1)^{2}+3a_{n}$
chartbit
Oh okay I get you now I think, that lost me cause I was reading from the original 
Let me check that again for you
:)
Still not quite, have this as $a_{n+1} = (n+1)^2 + 3a_{(n+1) - 1}$, I think that might be what you meant?
chartbit
If you were replacing the n's with (n+1)'s?
Cause you'd get this one
Not quite and not quite
First off, we're trying to assume that $a_{n} = \frac{1}{2}(-n(n+3)+5*3^{n} -3)$ and then prove that $a_{n+1}$ would look similar, we don't yet know that $a_{n+1}$ looks like (that's what we're trying to find!)
chartbit
And even with that, you forgot that $(n+1)^2$ should be there too
chartbit
Basically, you plug in $a_{n} = \frac{1}{2}(-n(n+3)+5*3^{n} -3)$ into $(n+1)^2 + 3a_{n}$
chartbit
Yep that's our aim...
Could you show me what you get when you do this please?
help
Please take a new "math help available" channel and not this one
huh
Oi, I'm not telling you
keep working!
Well it isn't that deep anyways, expand the bracket and you'll see what I meant soon enough...
Damn, note to self, make sure you look that there are no two "brackets"...
How'd you even get here tho?
What I meant, and my spoiler, was to ||multiply the 3 into the second bracket||
Stop there
Look at the third thingy a bit more closely
The $\frac{3}{2}\cdot 5 \cdot 3^{n}$
chartbit
And look at what you wanted
That was what I spotted 
damn
A bit of lame advice, I know, but try thinking like that if you can, try to see whether you can see ways to construct what you're looking for
Anyways, replace that bottom line with what you think I want you to
Sorry I have no idea..
What do you think I was trying to get you to do here?
This is the final form we want, nah?
yes
It would be nice if there was a way to convert this into something that has a $3^{n+1}$, don't you think...
chartbit
Hm yes
Can you try and see if you can do that for me then?
I dont get it
Please take a "math help available" channel, not the occupied ones
Remember the stuff we did yesterday? (well, it's yday for me)
Where we wanted to prove something was divisible by a number by induction
yes
Do you have the steps used to do that? If so, can you post an example for what you did in them?
What did we do here?
oh
Do you see what I'm trying to tell you to do now?
Arrrrgghhh 😭
What I wanted was $\frac{1}{2}\cdot 5 \cdot 3^{n+1}$
chartbit
Do you see why that’s the case?
no
Don’t just take my word for it, you know they say to never blindly take what people on the internet tell you…
Its now 1/2 instead of 3/2
Yea, so where did that 3 go?
Hmmm not sure I get you…
like this
damn
Do you at least agree though, that we have $\frac{3}{2} \cdot 5 \cdot 3^n = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 5 \cdot 3 \cdot 3^n$?
chartbit
Yes this makes sense
Got you, then that last 3*3^n becomes…
3^n+1
Pretty much - as long as you meant $3^{n+1}$ and not $3^n + 1$
chartbit
yes
Hence my brackets 
ye
Anyways, put it all together now, we should now get this, yea?
Nice, that’s what I wanted, now, keep that off to the side for a while and let’s work with everything else…
okay 👍🏼
Proof is trivial and left to the reader 
Try keeping off the purple to the side, and focusing on
$$
(n+1)^{2} + \frac{3}{2} (-n(n+3)) - \frac{3}{2}\cdot 3
$$
...
chartbit
ok
Expand all brackets and gather like terms
Then see whether that factorises into something
Do you know how to expand $(n+1)(n+1)$ tho?
chartbit
Cause just expand $-n(n+3)$ and then keep going
chartbit
And you can keep that $\frac{3}{2}\cdot 3$ as $\frac{9}{2}$ like you did last time I think
chartbit
(n+1)*n + (n+1) * 1
Keep going, right track 🛤️
What can you break that into?
Expand purp
Make right purp look like left purp maybe?
lol how
You said that $n \cdot n = n^2$, now $-n \cdot n$ is...
chartbit
chartbit
-n^2
Looking better, try and simplify things in that 
Gonna have to get to work so I may not be back for a while
No worries! Will try and do what I can but it may be some time before I pop back, so best of luck 😉
Haha, of course
have a good one!

i know there is factorial growth after exponential. Are there any more growth rates after which are not just compositions of other rates like exponential-factorial?
Something like $n^n$ grows faster than $n!$, I believe...
chartbit
Does that count as one?

,w 10!

10! = 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * ... * 1

Yes I know

points A and B r just intercepts
so to find A just plug y=0 and for B plug x=0
and for point C do u know how to find asymptotes of a function?
No we haven't done those yet

u can refer to this https://youtu.be/qGCKjuhA4eQ
This math video tutorial shows you how to find the horizontal, vertical and slant / oblique asymptote of a rational function. This video is for students who might be taking algebra 1 or 2, precalculus or calculus in high school or those who might be taking college algebra in an university. This video contains plenty of notes, examples, and pra...

How to add absolute values with non absolute values in functions?
Also subtract, multiply, divide
wait what
Like I made myself the function:
|x*y| + |x+y| = 4
Given x = 2 how would I go about (dont know the word in english) 'finding' y
"solving for y"
Ah yes
You split the absolute into two cases
One for when the inside ≥ 0, and another for when the inside < 0
Didnt you write just now?
Yeah I'm writing a long ass solution
Ah nvm average discord shenanigans
Thanks for your time, really appreciate it

Ok imma start sending
given x = 2, substituting that into
|xy| + |x+y| = 4
we get
|2y| + |2+y| = 4
Correct?
@pure apex
Ya
Now, the value of |2y| is either +2y (if 2y is positive) or -2y (if 2y is negative)
But isnt the absolute value always positive?
Ye
So we can split the original equation into two parts:
Case 1: (2y ≥ 0)
2y + |2+y| = 4
Case 2: (2y < 0)
-2y + |2+y| = 4
When I put it in an app it also gave me 2 other possibilities
Which are...?
So basically
?
Yes
++ gave me 2/3
-+ =-2
+- =6
-- =-2
Now you have 4 potential solutions
Substitute them into the original equation
And see which one works
Lemme try
|2y| + |2+y| = 4
So now you can deduce that
Is it any important that there were 2 possibilities for -2?
thanks so much
u saved me an unsatisfied brain and leared something new
You too
Would you like to know why 6 didn't?
Because it came from
- and - = 6
In which the first one is positive when 2y ≥ 0 => y ≥ 0 and the second one is negative when 2+y < 0 => y < -2
Notice something? The first one says y is bigger than 0 and the second says that y is less than -2. Which is impossible
That's why it didn't work
Ahh I see now
Also u left out the possibility wit 2 negatives
Why was that?
Why is it the same as - +
Hmm
I'm not sure myself why it came out the same
Maybe something to do with the 2 factor and the +2 being the same number?
@pure apex Has your question been resolved?
Let him write gaddamn
It happens whenever y = -x in |xy| + |x+y| = k
y = -x
|xy| + |x+y| = k
|x(-x)| + |x+(-x)| = k
|-x²| + |x-x| = k
x² + |0| = k
x² = k
in your example we had x = 2 and k = 4 which is 2²
If anyone still wants to contribute write "1", else I'll just close the question

In what world is R transitive??
❤️
It's not saying R is transitive
It's referencing the transitive closure of R
What's this mean
Imagine you extend R by adding enough ordered pairs to make it transitive
That new relation is the transitive closure of R
Sorry, can you explain a little bit further?
Ohh, wait, gotcha I think
So it's really not asking if R is any of these
It's asking if the various closures of the sets are partial/total orders?
Yes

hello I was reviewing for my exam and I was wondering why the Limit Comparison test was used instead of just the comparison test and p-series
cause i know the n^2/n^5 is larger than the first function
and through the p series test you get 1/n^3
which its 3 means it converges
but why do you need to use the limit comparison test
,w (n^2+3)/(n^5+2root(n)) < 1/n^3
looks like it's not larger.

s is in R^4 and i think T is in R^2
how can u tell what the sum would be
what are S and T exactly?
What's T
im not sure but it didnt say i had to get a value for it or anything like that
Yes what will their sum be
not sure
idk if i missed the lecture or if they didnt explain this exact problem but i cant visualise the sum of them
how would a sum work of things with differrent dimensions?

Is this unsolvable
no
Really? Ive been on this for an hour
The 2 equations are essentially the same
So in essence there's just one equation
Any solution is just numbers satisfying that equation
And there are infinitely many
Because it's a line

So i am trying to determine the equation for a translation of y=x^2 with zeroes 7 and 1.
Im coming back to math from like a 6 yeat hiatus so I've probably forgotten something vital
but this is what i have so far
Looking at the answer in the back of the textbook gave me a little hint but I'm not sure of the process to get the answer
so far i have (x-1) (x-7)
somehow i need to turn that into
y=(x-4)^2 - 9
what is the process by which that is achieved?
where does that goal come from?
that is the notation like you know its x^2 moved 4 to the right and 9 down
yes, but how do i find that with only the information of the zeros
ah, I see now
sorry, I didn't read all
so you did a different approach
the textbook did it more analytical, they thought 'I know the function is translated, so my x^2 has no multiplier' and they calculated the middle of 7 and 1 (so 4) and then solved for x^(7-4)=0
you did it very algebraic, you directly used your knowledge of binomals to input the zeroes into roots (x-1)(x-7)
if you make it to the form x^2+bx+c you get the same result
so would we be able to run through it step by step? i really have forgetten almost all knowledge regarding trinomials
what specifically?
Their approach?
so to clarify, is the answer in the textbook a simplified form of x^2+bx+c?
no
they thought 'how do I have to move f(x)=x^2 to match the zeroes'
which is
4 to the right
9 down
thats their numbers
yupp
so i say that X is 4, and then calculate y to be -9
thank you so much i think i understand now.
yeah
so they did like $(1-4)^2+c = 0$
which is $c=-3^2$

i need help with discrete math
please help
what's the question?
i have a couple but this is the first
open, closed, trail, circuit, path, cycle? Explain.```
and i believe that it is a an open walk and a trail because no edge is repeated it wouldnt be a path because the vertex A,C is repeated twice am i correct?
i just checked ur helping like a lot of ppl
lol it's a bit quieter now
oh man like goodjob thats crazy
^_^
logic
sorry my dude we're working on this problem for now. But I see you opened #help-2
somebody hopefully will stop by shortly
imma help him
Yes
ik u have alot of ppl
lol okay. Go do it in their channel if you don't mind and we can work on this one together
but am i correct in saying its an open walk, trail?
i did
cool
okay and just remind me about open and closed... open is when the first and last verticies are different and closed is when you end on your starting node?
okay cool. Then yeah it should be an open walk and trail. It's open because our start and end vertices are different and it's a trail since we have repeated vertices and no repeated edges
here, A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 4, E = 5
circuit and cycle are not relevant, and it's not a path since we have repeated edges
boom
yes ok
another question
vertices in non-increasing order. The degree sequence for four different graphs are
given below. Each graph is guaranteed to be connected. Select the degree sequence
corresponding to the graph that has an Euler trail. Explain.
a. 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5
b. 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 4, 4
c. 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5
d. 2, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 6 ```
I believe it would be c
due to the fact that it has only 2 vertices that are odd
everything else doesn't fit the description of a Euler trail
yeah that sounds logical to me
wait hold on
lemme revisit what an Euler trail is
no wait it would be c I think
tha'ts the def of an euler trail
ok
next question
imma gonna upload a photo of my work seeing that i can't really type this out
𝑏𝑛 = 2𝑏𝑛−1 + 3𝑏𝑛−2
𝑏0 = 1
𝑏1 = 7```
these ones have characteristic equations yeah?
Yeahh depending on weather the zeros u get have a multiplicity
take ur time im not coming at you with easy questions
$b_n = 2b_{n-1} + 3b_{n-2}$ has a characteristic equation of $x^2 - 2x - 3$, which is $(x - 3)(x + 1)$, so the roots are $-1, 3$. So the general solution is $b_n = C_1(-1)^n + C_2(3)^n$. Then for $b_0 = 1$, we get $1 = C_1 + C_2$ and for $b_1 = 7$, we get $7 = -C_1 + 3C_2$. Which when we solve, we get $C_2 = 2$, $C_1 = -1$, so then our equation is $b_n = -(-1)^n + 2(3)^n$
MellowDramaLlama
ok i got so many more but i will help you help ppl since iim taking most of ur time
ok lol
you seem to have a good grasp on these so I'm just verifying your results. It's just taking a second because I haven't done these in a while lmao
𝑎^𝑛−1/𝑎−1
.```
imma have to send my work for this as well
we have to assume that the right hand is is true
and we have to prove that its also try for k+1 as well
yep that work looks right to me
lol are you just agreeing with me at this point
no you're knocking these out of the park
you need more self confidence
I"ll give it a once over again though
maybe I missed something
i got a final tmr so i wanna make sure that i really know what im doing
yeah fair enough
one small mistake is in your inductive step. k needs to be greater than 1, since we already checked for one, but that's a SUPER TINY nitpick lol
ahh your right
ok but i think i get it for the most part
Prove by induction: For all non-negative integers n, 𝑛^3 − 7𝑛 + 3 is divisible by 3
nah it looks good to me
I'll brb (getting food)
but I"ll look at that when I get back
ok

Could I get help with this
@dapper hound Has your question been resolved?
so wait
or b y(x) = 4
I just input 0 as x for the first question?
dont tell me the answer
I need to do this I have a test coming up
?
when x = 0 means in time 0 but when y = 0 means in Hight 0
understand?
no
for example y = 2x - 3
in x = 0 ,y = -3 means is 0 second ball in 3 hight
in x = 3/2 , y = 0 means in 3/2 second ball in 0 hight or ground
yes
try to find x in h(x) = 0
yaahh
yes im onlion
